At the Daimon booth, we offered a hands-on experience of piloting the YAOKI lunar rover and introduced YAOKI’s challenges and business activities for lunar exploration to many visitors while they saw the actual vehicle.

Participation in the Lunar Development Forum booth as special cooperation

YAOKI participated as a special cooperator in the Lunar Development Forum booth, a joint booth run by the Nikkan Kogyo newspaper. The booth featured a collaboration with the 15th anniversary of the Space Brothers, a VR experience of a lunar rover, and an introduction of each company's efforts towards lunar development.

In addition, each company gave a presentation on the mini-stage, and we also introduced the challenge of the lunar rover YAOKI.

We have reported on our participation in the ISIEX 2023 International Space Industry Exhibition, which was held for the second time this year and was approximately three times the size of last year’s exhibition. We received a number of enquiries as a result of this exhibition, and we can sense that expectations for the space business are growing.

Through Project YAOKI, we will encourage many companies to enter the space business and contribute to the development of the space industry. If your company is interested in going to the moon with us, please feel free to contact us.

I want to be the first Japanese space suit designer. I happened to watch Mr. Nakajima introduce YAOKI on TV a few years ago, and came across his lecture at the 2021 Cosmo girl's online event, and that time! I was secretly impressed. After that, I was able to help out at Dymon and show up at workshops, events, etc.
